NILAI ANKLE BRACHIAL INDEX (ABI) PADA PENGGUNA ROKOK ELEKTRONIK HUBUNGANNYA DENGAN GANGGUAN SISTEM KARDIOVASKULAR

Bacground: E-cigarettes are growing rapidly and becoming a trend in the world,
especially Indonesia. The number of e-cigarette users is increasing because it
claimed to have a minimal effect compared to tobacco cigarettes, as a medium in
reducing tobacco smoking. This study aims to determine the relation between ABI
score in electronic cigarette users in relation to disorders of the cardiovascular
system (blood pressure and pulse).
Method: This study is a non-experimental research with cross sectional approach
with 30 respondents in Special Region of Yogyakarta and it was conducted in May
- August 2019.. Data collected by measuring blood pressure, heart rate, and ABI
score. The data then analyzed using Spearman correlation test.
Results: The result showed that there is 20 (66.7%) respondents of e-cigarette
users and 10 (33.3%) of dual user. Spearman correlation test results showed there
is no relation between using e-cigarettes to blood pressure (p = 0.163), heart rate
(p = 0.716), and ABI score (p = 0.163). Then, there is no correlation between ABI
score to blood pressure (p = 0.596) and heart rate (p = 0.354).
Conclusion: E-cigarettes have no significant correlation with blood pressure,
heart rate, and ABI score. Also, blood pressure and pulse are not related to ABI
values.
